So, I haven't updated this thing in what seems like forever! I'd give a recap of my life as of recent, but just so much has happened I would not know where to begin

I used to feel the way you do, Mike. But I've come to realize that if I ever feel obligated to compliment someone back (B) it is their fault for making me feel that way. If someone is truly complimenting you just to compliment you, then they won't pause awkwardly after they tell you what makes you so awesome. At least, that's my take on it. However, next time you find yourself in situation B, I would suggest not simply saying "Thanks" but saying something like "Thanks, that's really nice of you to say. Makes me feel good." That usually signals to them that it's their turn to talk and thus you're free of the "obligation" to compliment them back.
Deserving people really need to learn to accept compliments and not feel the need to modestly belittle them. I'm sure that what people say about your acting and your directing is true and from the heart. You should recognize that you deserve positive attention because you give it out to so many other people--it's bound to come back to you. ;)
If you want to compliment a girl's body, it's generally not a great idea to just say "wow, your ass looks really nice in those shorts." Look for something more detailed and less common/blunt. Generally a girl knows when her ass looks good, so compliment the actual article of clothing (they'll get the hint, methinks) or find something else. I think my favorite compliment thus far was that my fingernails were feminine...who looks at fingernails, you know?
Your witty remarks are probably a very safe technique because you won't say something completely useless. Most likely they will laugh and all will be well. You should really try to accept them, though. Accept, and then expand. Accepting: Thanks... Expanding: ...that's really nice/thoughtful/gay. Okay, maybe not that last one. (Unless, of course, there's a gay guy looking at your exposed member...I'll stop.)
